Bad Cop, Good Cop

A Swedish police officer has confessed he robbed a bank and later investigated the crime himself, telling reporters at the time police had no clues. A court in the central town of Bollnas officially charged the 36-year-old officer for the Dec. 17 armed robbery, for which he had pleaded guilty. The amount of money stolen was not disclosed but was described as sizeable. An hour after the crime, the police officer returned to the bank as a leading police investigator handling the case. Colleagues became suspicious when he bought a new car in mid-January, paying 219,000 Swedish crowns ($31,400) in cash using bank notes from the robbery, the court said.– Reuters
